Role Playing Games (RPGs) like Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) are a great way for kids to gain and reinforce social cooperation, critical thinking, and arithmetic skills in a developmentally appropriate, fun environment. This year at GFS, in order to respond to the growth of this program, we will be crafting this full day camp to engage campers of all experience levels. Whether you are an experienced D&D player, looking to grow your skills, become a Dungeon Master, or you are new to the game and want to experience it for the first (or second, or third time), Dungeon Masters Finn Jamieson and Will Kimberly, along with our partners from GameOn!, will guide campers through an epic adventure they won't forget! In this full-day camp, experienced Dungeon Masters from our partners at GameOn! will guide kids who have never played D&D before through character creation, followed by several sessions of role playing in an adventure. Play will concentrate on the basics, so no experience is necessary. Veteran players who want to experience new settings and scenarios will also have a blast! All materials will be provided, including dice, character sheets, reference books, and miniature figurines. At the end of the camp, campers will be able to keep their dice and figurines. If you have questions about which experience level is right for your child, please reach out to camps@germantownfriends.org.
